She was brought to Dhaka and admitted to Sheikh Hasina National Burn and Plastic Surgery Institute on 12 March.
On 13 March, she delivered a baby boy through cesarean surgery. The newborn was admitted to the NICU due to low birth weight.

With this, the death toll in the incident has risen to three people.
A Prothom Alo report, quoting burn institute resident doctor SM Ayub Hossain, said Kulsum Akhtar had sustained 28% burn injury in the incident.
Kulsum and her three-year-old son were among the victims who got injured in the explosion, which according to the fire service was caused by a gas line leakage.
